I Withthe described arrangement the device is placed on the dish withthe jaw 11 at the top and the jaw l6' below or at the vouter side of therim ofthe vessel. The lugs 15 prevent twisting or turning of the dish.With the dish positioned between the jaws the lever 19 is lowered .tothe position shown inFig. 2, thereby closing the jaw 16 tightly, saidjaw freely rocking on the loop 23. 'lhe short handle 10 and itscapability of being readily attached to. or detached from the dish makesit convenient for camp use as well as for generalpurposes, but incooking;

over a camp fire a longhandle is exceedingly secure the end of saidhandle, I provide a screw 26 disposed axially and rearwardly in thesocket portion of the handle '10. Advantageously, the screw 26 is rigidwith a transverse block 27 depending from the top of the handle 10. andin the example shown riveted as at 28 .to the top ot'the handle. In

tical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to themechanical details herein illustrated, since manifestly the same can beconsiderably varied without departure from the spirit of theinv'ention'as defined in the appended claims.

I Havingthus described my invention, I

claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent .1. In a device ofthe class described, a

tubular handle, acfixed jaw thereon at the front adapted to bepositioned over the rim ot the article to beheld, a cam lever on thesaldhandle atthe top, a movable jaw disposed beneath the fixed jaw andextending into the saifdv handle, means by which the movable jaw ispivotally hung between its ends on the. said lever, and means on thehandle at the interior with which the mov-.

able-jaw is rockably held rearwardly of the point of connection with thesaid lever.

2. In a device of the class described, a

tubular handle, a fixed jaw thereon at the a front, a movable jawbeneath the fixed jaw and extending at its rear end into the saidhandle, a fixed loop on the handle at the interior through which therear end of the movable jaw extends and in which it is rockablysupported, a cam lever on the handle at theexterior, at the top thereof,and means extending through the handle from the said lever and pivotallyconnecting the movable jaw to the lever between the ends of said jaw.

3. In a device of the class described, a tubular handle, a fixed jawthereon, a second jaw movable relatively to the fixed jaw, an actuatinglever connected with the movable jaw and disposed at the exterior of thehandle, the said handle at its rear end constituting a socket to receivean extension handle, fastening means within the tubular handle at theinner end of said socket to engage the extension handle, and a spur onthe cam lever adapted to project in the closed position of the leverinto the tubular handle to engage laterally with the extension handle.

4. In a device of the class described, a tubular, handle, jaws on saidhandle at the front end, the rear end of said handle constituting asocket to receive an extension handle, a member disposed laterally inthe tubular handle at the inner end of the socket portion, and a screwon said member and disposed rearwardly in the socket portion to engagethe end of the extension handle.
